Kitchen was well stocked. This was our first time taking a dog with us… not sure we will do that again. Queen bed needs new mattress! Everything else went well.

Not clean and kitchen cooking items old

Toenail clippings in living room floor/floors in general not clean, living room couch dirty /stained, bedspreads not clean, beds on middle floor very uncomfortable, some kitchen items in cabinets wore out, coffee maker burner was almost completely burn up, kitchen table paint was coming off…therefore felt sticky and nasty. Positives - top deck was very nice where hot tub was. Hot tub was new and clean, pool was small but was clean and refreshing and the location was nice … but no ocean view as stated due to houses across the street.

Excellent for dogs and kids

The hardwood laminate and ceramic tile throughout kept cleanup simple. Kitchen had the basics needed for a family who doesn't need to cook anything fancy. Beds very comfortable. Some minor maintenance issues, but the two that we asked to have addressed were handled promptly and professionally. Would use for a winter rental again!

Great Location, so much potential

This property is located minutes from the beach, can walk dog in great neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants and ice cream. Well stocked kitchen. With just a few changes, it really could b a great spot. Needs updated furniture and better mattresses in 2 of the 4 bedrooms. Needs new dryer as the one there stopped working. Cable didn't work for 24 hours. Office and maintenance communicated with us but made us feel like we were bothering them. Loved that it was pet friendly.

Perfect location

We loved this place despite having poor weather for the week. The place was roomy, clean and in a perfect location in the OBX. Close to the beach. Close to a coffee shop, cute art Shops, and best of all an ice cream shop! We’d go back if the opportunity arises.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Outer Banks. The house is conveniently located....but could stand to be updated. The carpeting was badly stained throughout the house, the furniture in the family room was also stained and one chair was broken and could not be used. Decor was very dated. The kitchen table is large and roomy but extremely scratched up. Plan on waking up at the crack of dawn (every bedroom) because every window has cheap, paper thin, dollar store mini blinds. The house is very roomy and had perks of a small pool and hot tub. Also, not really sure why I had to pay a cleaning fee when I was expected to vacuum the house and ensure that all the kitchen items were cleaned and put away prior to leaving the property.??
